Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the President elect, has been asked to call to order the supporters and members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who are allegedly attacking followers of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“The spirit of the December 7 general election was the call for peace before, during and after. Therefore, it is in the interest of national cohesion and stability that the NPP stops the attacks to soil the Party’s electoral victory with blood,” Alhaji Mohammed Kassim Gedel, a leading member of the Klottey Korle Zongo Caucus of the NDC said in statement issued in Accra on Sunday and copied to the Ghana News Agency.
The statement said the order by President John Dramani Mahama for the security services to arrest the culprits who were also vandalising State property was the right thing to do.
It said the overwhelming victory of the NPP in the national polls was an indication that Ghanaians wanted change but this should not be translated into attacks on opponents and destruction of party paraphernalia.
“The bill board of Zanetor Rawlings, the newly elected NDC Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle and Party paraphernalia at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange have been destroyed. It doesn’t speak well of us and the earlier those behind it are arrested and prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others the better, the statement added.
It asked the members and supporters of the NDC to exercise restraint when provoked and rather report the perpetrators to the law enforcement agencies for the due process to take its course in order not to exacerbate the already messy security situation in the country.
The statement however commended Ghanaians for the peaceful manner that characterised the elections and the Electoral Commission (EC) for displaying fairness and transparency.
“President Mahama should also be commended for showing maturity by conceding defeat before the EC announced the results.”

Who is in charge? The police are there. If indeed it is NPP members You have so soon forgotten how your people destroyed property, killed our supporters the young man at timber market and locked up our supporters for years in Tamale. So soon forgotten how your people used to drag people out of their cars because you felt they were govt cars? Remember it happened even to the MD of Barclays Bank. I call on the police to arrest all trouble makers most of them will be NDC supporters anyway. Look at what Collins Dauda blood thirsty brother has done inflicting cutlass wounds on several people. He should be arrested first. Hypocrites. Call on all causing trouble to be arrested not just NPP supporters.
who is in charge? Nana Addo or Pres. Mahama. you see your life? A real show of incompetence. Ask the Commander in Chief, the President to act. Propaganda did not work the last time and its not going to work today.
Is Nana Addo the president of Ghana. Incompetent Mahama do your job and leave the man alone. How many times do you want NPP to condemn these atatcks
HE HAS DONE IT ALREADY! CHECK YOUR FACTS AND STOP THE PROPAGANDA THAT DID NOT HELP YOU. YOU KNOW WITHIN THE BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART THAT NANA ADDO IS NOT VIOLENT. YOUR TAG ON NANA HAS NEVER STUCK AND WILL NEVER STICK.
